Baby Curls & Blue Eyes

I don't shoot much portrait but love this shot of my son from this weekend. I have the non L Canon 85mm 1.8 and have a love/hate relationship with it. The min focal distance of almost 3 ft seems to be my biggest challenge. But the dreamy 1.8 rocks
It's been split toned quite a bit, but I though it had a little magic.

Just a general interest question, why the split tone?

I just like how it looks, too much? I like the feel of the palette.
I end up using it a lot on portraits (see attached). Maybe it only looks good to me. Totally welcome to criticism :)
Thanks Donald!

Definitely gives them a look kinda like film from the 60's and early 70's. It flattens the images which again would be a personal preference.
Still, I do like your first image here. Very intense looking little guy. Love the eyes.
cheers

I know the....thought process I go through when I've completed all the clean up of an image and decide if to go any further. I am interested in the thought process others use. I'm always looking to learn and grow
